Don't be left out. AIGA Atlanta is hosting the second Biennial SEED Awards -- the Southeast's premiere design competition. A wide variety of design work, in print, environmental, motion and interactive -- from all across the Southeast -- will be judged by a distinguished group of professionals. The 2007 SEED Awards competition is being conducted on two tracks: In Track ONE – Case Studies will be judged primarily on their business value, recognizing design as a strategic tool. In Track TWO – Artifacts will be judged primarily on their cultural value, recognizing design as a craft. The 2007 judges include - Rick Anwyl (founder, EAI), Dana Arnett (founding partner, VSA Partners, Chicago), Pat Smith (former VP, Creative Director, Turner South), James Harris (founding partner, Elemental Interactive), and Minsoo Pak (SVP, Executive Creative Director, Sparks Grove, Inc.)
The competition will be capped by a grand SEED Awards Gala on June 11, 2007 at the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta, when all SEED winners will be recognized and their work will be on display. It will be a sparkling evening with friends, colleagues and peers enjoying great food, drinks and conversation, followed by an audio visual showcase of the winners and their work.
